2RJ45-S Installation Manual
The Thor Technologies RJ45 S SINGLE
SMARTSERIES NETWORK PROTECTION is a
100/1000MB RJ45 Ethernet Cat5 (and above)
protector with PoE support.
It simply installs in-line on an RJ45 Cat5 (and above) cable.
Originally Installed Cabling must be Ethernet Cat5 (and above).
The RJ45 S SINGLE SMARTSERIES NETWORK PROTECTION
can be Din Rail mounted
The RJ45 S SINGLE SMARTSERIES NETWORK PROTECTION
has two RJ45 female jacks, so the in-line installation is a very
easy and straight forward.
It protects any Ethernet devices like switches, routers, laptops
/ PCs, IP Camera, and IP Phones etc. from potential damaging
surges caused by line induced spikes and surges, static
electricity and earth potential rise incidents.
Moreover, because of PoE feature it allows PoE enabled
devices to remain powered while still being protected against
damaging spikes and surges.
IMPORTANT
Things are crucial and should not be missed when using the
RJ45 S SINGLE SMARTSERIES NETWORK PROTECTION
Ethernet surge protector:
1. Correct positioning: IN jack on the unprotected part
of cable and OUT jack on the protected side of cable.
Reversed installation will still allow network traffic and
operation but there will be no surge protection at all!
2. For any surge protection device to operate efficiently
proper grounding is of paramount importance. Proper
grounding: please note the yellow/green ground wire. This
wire must be connected to proper electrical ground (earth)
in the building and kept to being as short as possible from
the connection point on the RJ45 S to the earth point in
the building or external point being used.
3. If connecting to Phone Systems
Data cabling systems normally use RJ45 connectors.
These have eight pins. Many analogue phones, however,
are fitted with an RJ11 connector. These are smaller and
have four pins. It’s easy to insert an RJ11 plug into an RJ45
socket and it will probably work for a voice connection if
the other end of the link has the right wiring or the correct
adapter. DO NOT DO THIS because it may damage the
RJ45 socket. The right way to use an RJ11 connector in
a data cabling system is use an RJ11 to RJ45 adapter or
cable RJ12 6P/4C to RJ45 8P/4C.
You should use either a cable RJ12 6P/4C to RJ45 8P/4C or
an RJ45 8P8C Male TO RJ11 6P4C Female F/M Adapter
The RJ45 S SINGLE SMARTSERIES NETWORK PROTECTION
is designed to protect individual LAN Lines / Products. Best
results are on a single connection, but this may not be
practical in larger installations. The maximum recommended
number of single EARTH wire RJ45 S SINGLE SMARTSERIES
NETWORK PROTECTION units to be connected to a to a
common earth point is 8 (see images on the other pages for
suggested wiring methods).
Note 1: If more than 8 units are to be connected it is strongly
suggested that you need to run a separate earth
bonding wire (or consider using a rack unit RJ45-16
16WAY.)
Note 2: The screw, star washer and nut must be “M4” to
meet earth wiring regulations. Recommend stainless
steel 304 or 316.
WIRING EARTH PINS ON MULTIPLE UNITS
TO A SINGLE WIRE
The EARTH wire should be positioned at a central point to
provide as much as possible a balanced earth path.
The nut and washer locking the individual earth wire lugs must
be individually tightened to be as tight as physically possible.
Each lug must be secured by an individual washer and nut.
Note: The Earth path must have the least resistance
and maximum contact to be effective. It is not
recommended to just wire an earth lug and combine
all the individual RJ45 S Earth lugs as a single
connection on a screw support by one washer
and nut.
